Arrange P, Q, R, S to give the correct sequence of the paragraph given, below. |
P: Even as presidents from John E Kennedy to Bill Clinton denounced apartheid as a racist, untenable system, successive American administrations from the 1960s had friendly ties with South African governments and viewed Mandela with suspicion, if not outright hostility, through the prism of the Cold War. |
Q: And Mandela remained on a U.S. terrorism watch list from the 1970s until the late 2000s. That period covers the living presidents of that period - Jimmy Carter, Clinton and George W Bush - all of whom joined Obama at Mandela's memorial service at a sports stadium in Johannesburg's Soweto township, as well as Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan and George H.W Bush. |
R: The Nelson Mandela eulogized to the world by President Barack Obama as "a giant of history" and the "last great liberator of the 20th century" seemed a different person from the one the United States held at arm's length, to put it diplomatically, for much of his life and career. |
S: Comparing him to Mohandas Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr, Abraham Lincoln and America's founding fathers, Obama lauded Mandela for his leadership of a resistance movement, giving voice to the oppressed, holding a splintering nation together in a time of great peril and creating a constitutional order to preserve the freedoms he struggled to realize. Mandela, Obama said, was "a giant of history, who moved a nation toward justice and in the process moved billions around the world." |

Political terrorism is much more dangerous and its consequences can be disastrous. Political terrorists are well organized and well-trained and it often becomes difficult for the law enforcing agencies to arrest them in time. They indulge in senseless violence on a large scale in order to intimidate the people and the government. |
Hijacking of aero planes, arson, robberies, murder of eminent personalities, shooting down of innocent people indiscriminately, use of transistor bombs and other explosives, spreading of rumors, etc. are the various devices used by terrorist organizations in order to achieve their political ends. |
Terrorists constantly change their hide-outs and their tactics in order to escape arrest and punishment. When arrested, they try to commit suicide or are killed by their own close associates. They may think that they are patriots, but in reality they are anti-social or criminal elements who are exploited by clever politicians to achieve their own ends. Terrorists are usually young, while the brains behind them are old, seasoned politicians who coordinate and guide their activities. They are fanatics and extremists who act with great fervor and zeal, but studies reveal that if apprehended alive, a terrorist loses his fervor as quickly as he had acquired it. |
Terrorism is a world-wide problem. Very often it is seen that terrorist groups receive money, weapons, training and guidance from other countries and this enables them to attain a high level of performance. It was not an easy job to seal the long border completely and prevent flow of arms to the terrorists, but through strong and determined steps, terrorists might be flushed out and peace restored. |
